Yesterday was the last day of the first Blocking Felt course that was held at Portobello Institute, Dublin. Here are some photographs of the great work completed by my students. It is hard to imagine that this level of work was completed by students with no previous millinery training, I’m very proud of them.Chic black fur felt hat blocked on a vintage wooden hat block and adorned with dyed pheasant & goose feathers, a handmade silk dupion rose and vintage silk veiling.
